As with most tube related exploits, they tend to have only one means of access. Like a maze without an exit, once in the only way out would be to backtrack to the start. As such, like a rat cornered in a hole, should exit be closed, locked or blocked by workers, you genuinely have no form of escape, or anywhere to hide (In most cases). You fate resting in that at the entrance be it workers, police or a train.

Opened in 1868 as St. John’s Wood Road, Lord’s is sitated on the Metropolitan & St. John’s Wood Railway (Now, Metropolitan Line). The station was renamed St Johns Wood on the 1st April, 1925 and then Lords on the 11 June, 1939, just five months before the station closed as a result of services transferring to the new deep-level tunnels between Finchley Road and Baker Street.

The Magic Door was just a brief glimpse of what the tube had to offer, its treasure there for the taking if you knew where to look. Unlike Paris, little remains in the tube stations of london. The glamorous tiles, signs and decals stripped away to reveal the cold concrete underbelly. Sure the platforms and general structures still exist, but much like a hooker without makeup, its just not as appealing. However small relics and gems are still there to be discovered by the observant traveler.

Deeper and deeper we dived headfirst into London’s underground network. With a list of many we narrowed our choices and planned our next attack, operation Kings Cross was a go. Ok, so this particular abandoned station is no more then 10 meters underground and half of it sits outside without a roof, but it still counts!

Much like its drains Stockholm’s metro is a mixture of concrete and rock blasted tunnels. The network comprises of seven lines all with sections running under and aboveground, spanning roughly 100km. Sounds good right?. However it is not easy to access, or at least not anymore.

Probably the biggest mission we have ever undertaken. Countless attempts, lots of research into possibilites around 6 trips and countless cheeky bonuses we were in!
